Besides the sources of the agent, it needs two additional programmes
to operate in full: rtop and print_fstable (follow the above URL to
retrieve them). rtop reads kernel memory and has to have permissions
set to -rwsr-xr-x (which can be achieved by "chmod 4755 rtop"). Of
course, you have to be superuser to do that.

If you do not install rtop, then the MIB variables which get updated
by it will not be present in the agent's MIB tree, but the agent will
work with the rest of the MIB variables described in its MIB module.

Read the MANUAL file (included in uagent-2.tar.gz) for other details
about making the agent run.
